Apostle (saw) is quoted to say:"One who would
love Hasan and Husayn (as) loves me and one who would call them an
adversary is in challenge with me."

Imam
Sadiq (a.s) said:
"Indeed the cognition and knowing of Allah provides comfort in
all terrors and frights. And it is the companion in all solitudes
and lonlinesses, and the light in all darknesses, and energy in all
weaknesses, and feebleness and the cure of all diseases and
ailments.”

"High
manners elevate (those who embrace them) to the rank of the fasting
people who pass their nights in worship. “What is the best gift
that the servants obtained?” The Prophet Muhammed p.b.u.h.

gift the servants (of Allah) ever obtained."Prophet Muhammed p.b.u.hSource: Tuhaf Al – Uqoul

not take them out of the right, and whose ability does not lead them

Imam
Zayn al-'Abidin has conveyed this positive aspect of the hope of
deliverance in the tradition in which he says:
"To hope for deliverance and release in itself functions as
the most profound form of deliverance."

( Subhanahu Wa Ta’Ala) says in Hadith Qudsi,
“When I find out that a person remembers Me frequently, I will
look after his affairs, become his company, speak with him, and
become his intimate friend.”

"O
Ali, do not be angry (under any circumstances). If you are enraged,
you should sit down and think of the Lord’s power over His

“Fear Allah”, you should try to relinquish your rage and cling
to your (feeling of) clemency."Prophet

Sayings
of Imam Sadiq [ A.S.]
Imam Jafar as Sadiq [ A.S.] said:
•Surely,
a little action (of worshipping) with piety is better than many
deeds with no virtue.

•Treat your ailments with charity and repel varieties of
affliction by invocation.

•Be careful of your knowledge and see from whom you get it.

•The love of this fleeting world is the origin of all vices.

The
Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h) said:“O’ people! Verily, there is no prophet after me, nor
any Ummah after you (Muslims). So, take care to worship your Lord,
perform your five ritual prayers, fast in the appointed month
(Ramadan), make pilgrimage to the House of your Lord (Mecca), give
alms of your wealth in order to purify your souls thereby, and obey
the Holders of Authority, so that you enter the Paradise of your
Lord.”Khisal-I-Saduq,
p. 152 in “A Bundle of Flowers”, Compiled by Aytullah Sayyid
Kamal Faghih Imani

The
Holy Prophet (sws) said:

“Fie upon that Muslim who does not allocate (at least) one day
a week to the study of his religion.”

Bihar-ul-Anwar, vol. 1, p.
176. in “A Bundle of Flowers”,

Compiled by Aytullah Sayyid Kamal Faghih Imani

"O
Ali, three matters are within the doors to charity: they are
generosity, good wording, and steadfastness against harm.

"

Prophet Muhammed p.b.u.h.

"O
Ali, three characters are the masters of deeds: they are to treat
people fairly, justify your friends, and to praise Allah under any
condition.

"

Prophet Muhammad p.b.u.h.

"Do
not dispute (with others) lest you will lose splendour and do not
joke (with everyone) lest you will be disrespected.

"

Hazrat
Imam Hassan Al – Askari [a.s.]

Imam Ali (as) says:
"I swear to God that if I were to spend from night to
morning upon thorns and if my hands and feet were to be chained in
the day and I were to be pulled through the streets and
bazaars, I am more willing to have this happen than to present
myself to God's court if I have committed an oppression against one
of God's creatures or if I have usurped the rights of another"

Nahj ul Balagha Sermon 224

"O
Ali, no poverty is harsher than ignorance, no fortune better than
the intellect, no loneliness drearier than pride, no victory like
counselling, no intellect like moderation, no lineage like good
manners and no worship like pondering (over things

Traditionists
report that 'Abdu 'r-Rahman ibn 'Awf' said:
"I heard the Apostle of Allah say, 'I am a tree, Fatimah is its
trunk and Ali is its pollen. Hasan and Husayn are its fruits, and
our followers (Shi'ah) are its leaves. The roots of the tree are in
the Garden of Eden, and its trunk, fruits and leaves are in
Paradise.' "

Abu
Dawoud in his 'Sahih' on Page 87, Vol. 4 narrated from Abdulla a
tradition from the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.A.) as follows: 'If there
remains not more than a day from the life of the earth, God Almighty
will set the day so long until He appoints a person from my
progeny.'

Thereafter
he says - Similarly it has come in Hadith Sufyan that the Holy
Prophet has said: 'The life of this world shall not end until an
Arab from my progeny will rule over the world.'(8)

The
same book on the afore-said page and volume mentions a tradition
from Ali (A.S.) who narrates from the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.A.) as
follows: 'If there remains not more than a day from the life of the
earth, surely God shall appoint a person from my progeny.'

Tirmidhi
in Vol. 2 of his 'Sahih' on Page 270 narrates a tradition from
Abdullah who narrates from the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.A.) that he said:
'The life of this world shall not cease to exist until an Arab from
my progeny shall come and rule.'

Tirmidhi
says: This tradition is (acceptable) and (correct) and the same has
also been narrated from Ali, Abu Sa'eed, Umm-Salma and Abu Huraira.

Also,
in the afore-said book on the same page of the same volume, a
tradition has been narrated by Abu Huraira from the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.A.)
as follows:

'If
there remains not more than a day from the life of the earth, God
Almighty will set the day so long until a person from my progeny
shall come and rule.' Then he says: This 'hadith' is (acceptable)
and (correct). (9)

Ibn-Hajar
in his Sawa'eq; on Page 97 says: Abu Ahmad, Abu Dawoud, Tirmidhi and
Ibn Maaja have narrated from the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.A.) as saying:

If
there remains not more than a day from the life of the earth, surely
God shall appoint on that day a person from my progeny;
Es'aaf-ur-Raghebeen too has narrated the same on Page No. 147(10)

Ibn
Hajr in the afore-mentioned book on Page 97 writes: Abu Dawoud and
Tirmidhi narrate from the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.A.) as such: -

"If
there remains not more than a day from the life of the earth, surely
God will set that day so long until He makes a person appear from my
progeny."

Esa'af-ur-Raghebben
too has narrated the same on Page 148.

Ibn
Hajr, in the afore-mentioned book on Page 97 says: Abu Dawoud and
Tirmidhi have narrated from the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.A.) as such:
'The life of this world shall not cease to exist until a person from
my progeny shall come and rule.'

Es'aaf-ur-Raghebben
too has narrated the same on Page 148.

Ibn
Hajar in Sawa'eq; (Page 97) writes: Abu Dawoud and Tirmidhi have
narrated from the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.A.) as such:

'If
there remains not more than a day from the life of the earth, God
will set the day so long, until He appoints a person from my
progeny.' Es'aaf-ur-Raghebeen too has narrated the same on Page 148.
(11)

In
'Nur-ul-Absar' Page 229 a tradition has been narrated from Ali (A.S.)
who narrates from the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.A.) as such:

'If
there remains not more than a day from the life of the earth, surely
God will make a person from my progeny to appear' (on that day).

Then
the author continues: 'This hadith has also been narrated by Abu
Dawoud in his 'Sunan'.

In
the same book on Page 231, it is narrated from Abu Huraira who
narrates from the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.A.) that:

"Qiyamat
shall not be established until a person from my progeny comes and
rules". (11)

On
Page 151 of Es'aaf-ur-Raghebben it is mentioned that Ahmad and
Mawardi have narrated from the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.A.) who said: -

Glad-tidings
to you (all) about Mahdi; The same has come in 'Nur-ul-Absar' Pg.
151.

Author
of 'Nur-ul-Absar' writes on Page 230 as such: Ahmad narrates from
Abu Sa'eed Khudri that the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.A.) has said: 'I give
you glad-tidings about Mahdi.'

In
Yanabi-ul-Mawadda; (Page 432) it is narrated from Qetaada who said:
"'I asked Sa'eed-ibn-Maseeb: "Is there any truth in
Mahdi?" He replied, 'Yes, he is the truth and he is from the
progeny of Fatemah.'"(13)

In
the same book, on the afore-said page it is narrated from Ali (A.S.)
who has narrated from the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.A.) that: 'If there
remains not more than a day from the life of the earth, indeed God
shall make a person from my progeny to appear.'

Thereafter
he writes: 'This hadith has also been narrated by Abu Dawoud, Ahmad,
Tirmidhi and Ibn-Maaja.'

Also,
in the same book on Page 432, a tradition is narrated from 'Musnad'
of Ahmad who has narrated from the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.A.) as such:
-

'Qiyamat
shall not be established until the earth is filled with cruelty and
oppression. Then a person from my progeny shall appear and fill it
with equity and Justice. (14)

Again,
in the afore-mentioned book On Page 440 he writes: Mufeq-ibn-Ahmad
Akhtab narrates a sermon of Khawarazm who takes reference from
Abdur-Rahman-ibn-Abi Laili who narrates from his father who said: -
'In the battle of Khaibar, the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.A.) handed over
the banner to Ali (A.S.). Then Allah ordained victory by his hands.
Later, at Ghadir-e-Khum he reminded the people that Ali was the 'Maula'
(Master) of all believing men and women and continued until he
expressed few sentences about the virtues of Ali, Fatemah, Hassan
and Hussein. Thereafter he said:

"Gabriel
has informed me that after my departure they shall be subject to
injustice and, oppression and this oppression shall continue until a
movement is brought about by their Qa'em; and at that time their
creed will be raised high, people shall turn towards their
friendship, ill-speaking towards them shall diminish, those having
unpleasantness for them shall be degraded and those eulogizing them
shall increase. Such kind of events will occur when cities shall
collide with each other and people become weak and helpless of
respite. At that time shall appear the Qa'em; (Mahdi) from my
progeny and God will manifest the truth through him and extinguish
the falsehood by his sword. Thereafter he said: 'O people,
glad-tidings to you of relief and respite. Surely the promise of
Allah is true, He never breaks it, and His decree never gets
refuted. He is All Aware and All seeing and the victory of Allah is
near. (15)

In
the same book on Page 447 he narrates from the book of
Fara'ed-us-Semtain; from Shaikh Abu Ishaaq Ibrahim-ibn-Yaqub who
narrates from Jabir-ibn-Abdulla Ansari that the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.A.)
has said: The one who denies the emergence of Mahdi has surely
disbelief to whatever God has revealed upon Muhammad and the one who
denies the coming of Isa (Jesus) has surely become a disbeliever and
the one who denies the revolt of Dajjal has surely become a
disbeliever.;(16)
